Bruno and Brais Mendez are surely brothers

Bruno and Mendes look like they came from the same village.

Great minds...

 

[Pexbo]

Oh great it’s going to be another night like that where referees ignore our fouls

 

[Fortitude]

The level is so much lower than the PL; we might stand a chance.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Ref playing against us. Gives them fouls for nothing but if Hojlund is fouled it's play on

 

[JBG]

How is that not a FK for Højlund??

 

[RedSky]

Playing well so far, some nice quick passing.

 

[Sassy Colin]

No foul on Hojlund?

 

[suheilsworld]

That was a clear foul on Højlund. Referee looking like a right knob so far

 

[moses]

The level is so much lower than the PL; we might stand a chance.

Yep, they're no Bournemouth

 

[laughtersassassin]

How is that not a FK for Højlund??

Only the Spanish team gets given fouls

 

[redshaw]

Serious question... What is Hojlund good at?

Falling over, at 6ft 3 it's impressive how adept he is at it.

 

[LordSpud]

Garnacho is so dusted man can't wait to get rid

 

[Fracture90]

Garnacho is such a selfish twat.

 

[laughtersassassin]

Would Garnacho ever pass.

 

[George Owen]

Good effort Garnacho

 

[Gazautd18]

fecking Garnacho!!

 

[Fortitude]

Yep, they're no Bournemouth

Weird times we live in.

 

[Back To Madeira]

Come on Højlund, tonight is the night you rediscover your scoring touch.

 

[stepic]

garnacho signature move, straight down the throat of the keeper

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Absolutely ghosted through the middle there…

 

[Sylar]

The overlap is always on for garna

 

[Silverman]

Onana

 

[laughtersassassin]

fecking Onana ffs

 

[JBG]

Why do we look so much more comfortable attacking in Europe than in the Prem???

 

[laughtersassassin]

Come on Højlund, tonight is the night you rediscover your scoring touch.

Doing ok so far. Hopefully Garnacho will try to pass it to him once or twice

 

[hellhunter]

Why do we look so much more comfortable attacking in Europe than in the Prem???

General level of our opponents so far rather mediocre

 

[DannyCAFC]

Garnacho is such a selfish twat.

Yes he is in general - but on that occasion he didn't really appear to have many options in fairness. Thought using Dorgu's run as a decoy to open up a yard was the right decision (for once).

 

[Pexbo]

Why do we look so much more comfortable attacking in Europe than in the Prem???

Because Prem teams are bigger, faster, press higher and leave less space.

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Why do we look so much more comfortable attacking in Europe than in the Prem???

Pace and physicality a few levels below Prem, against mid table clubs anyway.

 

[JBG]

General level of our opponents so far rather mediocre

Ipswich are not better than the teams we've played in Europe and yet we looked like a League one attacking team against them.

 

[Gabriel Djemba-Bebe]

Casemiro's hopeful sweeping passes drive me insane.

 

[Fracture90]

Yes he is in general - but on that occasion he didn't really appear to have many options in fairness. Thought using Dorgu's run as a decoy to open up a yard was the right decision (for once).

Nah, just your regular 4 vs 4 in the opponents box, but sure no options...

 

[Mike Smalling]

Everyone slipping all over the place.

 

[Red00012]

So hang on, say if we made 3 subs by 70 minutes (Collyer, Lindelof and Eriksen - plausible) ... and then two players go down injured, we'd have to bring on a sub goalkeeper to play outfield?!

Heaven and amass are on the bench also

 

[Mmm-Qatarian]

fecking Onana ffs

FFS man, I'm still at work following the game on this thread - you can't be giving me heart attacks with posts like this!

 

[George Owen]

Yes he is in general - but on that occasion he didn't really appear to have many options in fairness. Thought using Dorgu's run as a decoy to open up a yard was the right decision (for once).

Yep. Hojlund never gave him any option for a pass so it was weird seen him complaining (and some posters).

 

[hellhunter]

Ipswich are not better than the teams we've played in Europe and yet we looked like a League one attacking team against them.

Yeah technically they're not better, but physically they are I'd say

 

[Sassy Colin]

What's this new fanglled catching the ball technique Onana is trying in this game, then?

 

[DannyCAFC]

feck me United just have absolutely nothing to offer off the bench do they? I'd expect Collyer to come on for Casemiro after an hour or so to add some energy to midfield, but there's zero options that Amorim can look to if they're stagnant again in attack.

 

[Teja]

Why do we look so much more comfortable attacking in Europe than in the Prem???

The PL is an incredibly difficult league. I think 1 -> 15 ish are incredibly good tactically and well drilled.
